Drug Addiction: Hazelden – The Turning Point: Breaking the Cycle of Addiction and Incarceration: Item # 7919
This compelling video was developed for male clients who are dealing with alcohol or other drug addiction. It includes interviews with African American men in different stages or recovery and reintegration, along with straight talk from counselors, community activists, a neighborhood pastor, and a drug court judge. All echo the same message: in order to change, these men must give up not only alcohol and other drugs, but also their unhealthy lifestyles. Viewers learn the strategies necessary to create a healthy environment, find positive support, overcome shame and guilt, rebuild self-esteem, identify triggers, avoid relapse, and ensure that core beliefs and values align with positive goals.The content educates clients in three primary concepts: recovery, cognitive skills, and life skills. This learning jump starts clients into addiction treatment by providing them with a foundation of core knowledge essential to success. Three client workbooks are also available as part of the Hazelden Community Corrections Program.
